7       engine

SYNOPSIS
10       mysql_convert_table_format [options] db_name
11

DESCRIPTION
13       mysql_convert_table_format converts the tables in a database to use a
14       particular storage engine (MyISAM by default).
15       mysql_convert_table_format is written in Perl and requires that the DBI
16       and DBD::mysql Perl modules be installed (see Section 4.20, “Perl
17       Installation Notes”).
18
19       Invoke mysql_convert_table_format like this:
20
21          shell> mysql_convert_table_format [options]db_name
22
23       The db_name argument indicates the database containing the tables to be
24       converted.
25
26       mysql_convert_table_format understands the options described in the
27       following list.
28
29       ·  --help
30
31          Display a help message and exit.
32
33       ·  --force
34
35          Continue even if errors occur.
36
37       ·  --host=host_name
38
39          Connect to the MySQL server on the given host.
40
41       ·  --password=password
42
43          The password to use when connecting to the server. Note that the
44          password value is not optional for this option, unlike for other
45          MySQL programs. You can use an option file to avoid giving the
46          password on the command line.
47
48          Specifying a password on the command line should be considered
49          insecure. See Section 6.6, “Keeping Your Password Secure”.
50
51       ·  --port=port_num
52
53          The TCP/IP port number to use for the connection.
54
55       ·  --socket=path

59       ·  --type=engine_name
60
61          Specify the storage engine that the tables should be converted to
62          use. The default is MyISAM if this option is not given.
